Best Time to Visit

Best time to go to Ha Long Bay is all year round except winter as it is quite cold in the winter especially for swimming and the sky is not so clear for a good view of the bay. That means you can go there from April to October. Vietnamese often go there from May to August as this is the hot summer in Northern Vietnam and going to the beach side becomes such a nice experience. However take a look at weather forecast is advisable because if it’s going to rain or worse a storm could spoil your visit there. There’s nothing much to do in such weather except stay indoors to pass the time. Summer time is also the time for storm and typhoon in Northern Vietnam so watch out. Ha Long authorities organize a Ha Long Carnival in June makes June the peak season there.
